I know the Bulls should logically tank. But Coby posterizing Wemby with 15 seconds left to go up 3 after the Bulls trailed by 19 is just good vibes.

Because Mike Sirota = Luis Robert?

I think it's worth remembering that amidst the Johnson/Vrabel/Carroll excitement, they do have to interview two minority candidates to satisfy the Rooney Rule. While I'm still hoping for Johnson, I hope those candidates still get legit interviews and aren't just checking a box.

It was two when I first looked, then the Jets won, so the Bears would have picked in front of them had they lost.

2 slots. From the handful of mocks I've seen, Banks should be there.

Also, I missed the Bears so a redux of the Hester/Knox takeout. I feel like Ben Johnson would be down to do a lot of special teams fuckery. Growing up with the Gould/Hester era makes me yearn for that.

And lord knows, sports are mental. The team actually coming through for Caleb on one of these drives means something.

If they lost your post would have been "only the bears could have orchestrated this losing streak and lost to the Packers in the closing minutes TWICE. Typical. LOL. 🤡" If that small draft position change is what breaks them next year, then nothing would fix it.

Thomas Brown is trying to get tricky. He's auditioning to keep the OC job under Johnson.

Caleb and DJ syncing up makes me feel good.

Would we be
They need to improve 45+ games to even be in the Wild Card hunt. If this were the Machado/Harper offseason, I don't think signing those two makes this team a contender in one offseason. There's just too much broken.

We've known this was coming since Carter-Williams had to change his number. It makes sense. It feels incomplete with out Noah, although I guess they have their "circle of honor" thing.

So is Pat Riley, just as an executive. I want to know what happened between these two.

Jimmy suspended by the Heat and demanding a trade. Was his 1 year in Philly the only place he was happy?

Should, yes. But that's far too rich for their blood.

White Sox are interested in RHP Jakob Junis
Unless Rojas, Slater and Tauchman go Super Saiyan to levels they never have, then he wouldn't be around for the next time the Sox are good.

To be fair, Tanner Banks was a homegrown arm.

I think for many it boils down to: Rojas in a vacuum - good signing, makes sense Rojas as part of a trend that began last year - concerning Vargas sliding into the 1B/DH also helps alleviate (similar to Sosa at SS like @WestEddy pointed out). I guess we need to see how Venable juggles this. If everyone plays their traditional positions, things get messy. If not, maybe we're cooking.

Yeah, I guess I wasn't considering Sosa as a SS, but if he's there then that clears up a lot of the jam. AAA gets a bit messy, but you just have to let that sort itself out.

He probably can. Like, Rojas is a fine player. I just don't get the strategy of signing guys that won't add to the win column in any drastic way and only really block prospects that need playing time. Like god, I've dunked on Vargas plenty, but he needs playing time. So do Sosa, Baldwin and Amaya. These aren't minor league guys - they're all in the major leagues right now, on the 40-man. That's not even counting Colson and Ramos. Or the DeLoach/Fletcher/Colas trio that will now be blocked by Slater and Tauchman. "Vet leadership" did nothing last year and these guys won't be around for the next winning White Sox team, so why???

Roki Sasaki Free Agency - Dodgers vs Blue Jays for Roki's heart
Not only does he not have a character limit (blue checkmark), he's well under the old character limit. It reeks of "Bowden just spewing his brain garbage," cause the only way this tweet doesn't work out for him is if Sasaki goes to the White Sox.
